It Never Gained Its Importance

While the Americans no longer used Bluie East Two, it did provide some benefit on occasion. In 1958, the facility provided critical supplies for the construction of an early-warning radar system at Kulusk, further south. The site, however, never regained its former prominence after the war ended.
